    They won’t stop unless someone makes them stop. That’s how movements like this work, every single time. They never wind down on their own. They have to constantly keep increasing the cruelty and extremism, or else their base will see weakness and abandon them. However bad you think it is now, it’s only going to get worse, unless someone puts an end to it. Historically, there are only a few ways a fascist movement has ever been stopped, and none of them are pretty.

      when you put it like that

      I guess its a good thing the police havent been militarizing, and filling their roster full of violent trigger happy assholes who radicalized themselves into thinking they’re the thin blue line between civilization and savagery,

          No, Im saying things are so far gone that violence is looking inevitable. and that the men of power are already well prepared to commit mass violence to protest their way of life by way of bloodthirsty “police” and private security on the payroll.

            It’s not going to get better until and unless citizens take the initiative to reclaim their country.
